Ip Man: Kung Fu Legend
In 1950s Hong Kong, British merchants and Chinese triads have joined forces to expand their territory, forcibly demolishing factories without regard for public welfare. This move draws fierce opposition from Ip Man, standing up for the workers, he faces pressure from all sides. Framed for murder, he is sent to prison. Within the prison walls, the triads set multiple deadly traps. Can Ip Man overcome these trials,… From TMDB

neutral · AI labelView post →YouTube Shorts is full of racists :/ For this good vibes protocol, I'm recommending SPL (2005), also known as Kill Zone. A lot of people think Donnie Yen's career high point began with Ip Man (2008), but it really started with this movie. It's also the film that made Wu Jing an action star.

neutral · AI labelView post →Ip Man (2008) Directed by Wilson Yip stars Donnie Yen with co-stars Simon Yam, Lynn Hung, Lam Ka-tung, Xing Yu, Hiroyuki Ikeuchi, and Tenma Shibuya. The film is based on the life of Ip Man, a grandmaster of the martial art Wing Chun and teacher of martial artist legend Bruce Lee.

neutral · AI labelView post →IP Man? is that a movie about Bob Iger?
neutral · AI labelView post →In an interview with Focus On Focus, which I can no longer find, Donnie said he made SPL after seeing the success of Ong-Bak. He believed he could do just as well. And he was right. This film established the Donnie Yen + Wilson Yip creative duo, which went on to make Flash Point, and then Ip Man.

neutral · AI labelView post →Using MOVIE as an acronym, recommend 5 films M: Mystery Men O: Once Upon A Time In Mexico V: Volcano I: IP Man E: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind I haven’t seen once upon a time in mexico in like 2 decades so not standing behind it
neutral · AI labelView post →The Ip Man with Mike Tyson though... What were they thinking? It breaks the movie and I can't take it seriously.

neutral · AI labelView post →finally got to watching Fist of Fury (1972) tonight. it really felt like what if Ip Man REALLY wanted those guys dead, I was genuinely shocked at how ferocious Bruce Lee moved in this movie. The final fight scene, especially the last 5 mins basically invented Hokuto no Ken too. Wondrous classic
neutral · AI labelView post →Check this out @roseyroseamund.bsky.social. 1. This is a clip from a movie series about Ip Man, the man who taught Bruce Lee. 2. Donnie Yen (Ip Man) is a living martial arts legend. 3. The series display how Chinese dealt with racism back in Ip's day (like the 40s, 50s, etc)...

neutral · AI labelView post →has no one said Ip Man (2008) Donnie Yen is so so good here. there's several Ip Man films, this 4-film series, and others,, i aim to watch em all eventually en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ip_Man_...
neutral · AI labelView post →It’s our fifth film set in China, along with Seven Years in Tibet, Ip Man, Mulan, and Shang-Chi. #HATM #Bloodsport
neutral · AI labelView post →Kung Fu Hustle. And then probably Crouching Tiger; Hidden Dragon. And then probably the first Ip Man movie?
neutral · AI labelView post →Huh, they made another Ip Man film.
neutral · AI labelView post →Realizing EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE was also referencing this film and IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE, Gong Er and Ip Man star crossed by very real and tragic externalities
neutral · AI labelView post →IP MAN (2008). That film is to Superman as MASTER & COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD (2003) is to Star Trek.
neutral · AI labelView post →A new Ip Man movie released this year. Didn’t have Donnie Yen as Ip Man & it was so bad that tonight we are watching the original 4 Ip Man movies as a palate cleanser 🌝

neutral · AI labelView post →So many fights always had me up and pacing during that movie. But one of my favorites is Ip Man v Jin when Jin ran up on Ip in his house lol
positive · AI labelView post →Today, on our site, a review of the upcoming Well Go USA release, Ip Man: Kung Fu Legend!! @wellgousa.bsky.social www.bulletproofaction.com/2026/07/10/b...
neutral · AI labelView post →Recent recommendation: Monkey Man starring Dev Patel. Better than the John Wick movies imo Less recent: Ip Man (2008) I don't believe there are swords but the action is great and the sequels I haven't seen are supposedly good as well. Somehow I don't see this film mentioned as much as similar films
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm watching Ip Man on Youtube... and as much as I loathe dubbing, the dubbing is way better than the autogenerated captions, which have included "Uncle I've got a girl" instead of "Uncle I've got to go" and "Good. That is high." instead of "Good. Stand aside." AI failure! youtu.be/sgtzkQea4Mg
neutral · AI labelView post →Hell yeah. 'IP Man' has some of the best fight sequences in modern film imho, and of course Sammo was the fight choreographer.
positive · AI labelView post →“IP Man” (2008) is a kung fu movie about a modest Chinese fighter who resists the Japanese occupiers. Interestingly, IP Man truly existed, but this story never happened. Overall, a good kung fu movie, but nothing remarkable (despite the many sequels). 🇨🇳 ⭐️⭐️⭐️
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm glad he's living what seems to be a very peaceful life by accounts I've seen. That said I really do miss Jet Li movies, especially since Jackie Chan turned out to suck as a person. Donnie Yen is fun to watch and all but he's just cast as an Ip Man variant in every single movie now.
neutral · AI labelView post →ok, I need clarification. is it Ip Man or Yip Man. it somehow says both in this blurb. (if b, then y it not title?) anyway I refuse to see the movie until these burning questions are answered
neutral · AI labelView post →Share an ACTION movie title that begins with the letter “I” 🎥 I is for… ‘Ip Man' 🖤 #moviesky #filmsky
neutral · AI labelView post →Had a weird Movie Watching Weekend with the wife and kids gone. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon - Greatly enjoyed. MIB 1 - Rewatch. IP Man 1 - Rewatch. Moneyball- Interesting.
neutral · AI labelView post →Master Z is a great spin-off film. Better than Ip Man 3 and 4.
neutral · AI labelView post →Loved this movie, and Hero, too. I very much enjoyed her in Shang Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, and in Everything Everywhere All at Once. Similar movies I enjoyed: Hero was very entertaining and Man with the Iron Fists was a hard watch, but emotional. Ip Man is another banger!
neutral · AI labelView post →Returning to the third Ip Man film should be interesting. I get to see Donnie Yen vs. Mike Tyson again (and no its not because its the first thing I can think of when I mention this film.....Zhang Jin as Sam Nung is worthy too). #NowRewatching:
neutral · AI labelView post →I have not! Those are on my list now, thank you! Most of my HK martial arts film knowledge is from the Ip Man films. I watched the first three in college with my Chinese roommates, along with a few others that I can't remember for the life of me lol
neutral · AI labelView post →This was a big hit when it came out in Hong Kong. Despite the international acclaim and success of his movies afterwards, WKW didn’t have a bigger movie until his movie THE GRANDMASTER, which is based on the story of…Ip Man. #CultShelf
neutral · AI labelView post →Today I rewatched Police Story 3 and Hero, followed by Ip Man for the first time. Lets just say it’s been a very good day for movie viewing.
neutral · AI labelView post →#51 Master Z: Ip Man Legacy For a film that screams milking the franchise (this movie is part of the Donnie Yen's Ip Man lore featuring the other wing chun master), this is good. Some great fights, even including a Dave Bautista fight. Also a good story of self-rediscovery
neutral · AI labelView post →The Prodigal Son is an absolutely CLASSIC movie! THE Wing Chun movie (IMHO) until the Ip Man movies came out. My mom only likes to watch movies once, but she always asks me to let her watch my DVD copy of Prodigal Son! #movies #HongKongCinema #ClassicMovie #MartialArtsMovie #WingChun
neutral · AI labelView post →You should watch Ip Man 4 where Donnie Yen fights Scott Adkins who plays a very racist Marine. It is a dumb movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →You know what was a good movie? Ip Man.
positive · AI labelView post →IP Man 1 güzel ilk aklıma gelen. En sevdiğim diye bir şey yok çünkü aynı anda çok güzel bulduğum birden çok Kung Fu filmi var. Bi Kung Fu film listelerine bakmam lazım şaslkdm
neutral · AI labelView post →that's all I really need from an Ip Man movie lol!
neutral · AI labelView post →For the first time in maybe a DECADE, I’m watching a martial arts movie. One of the best actually, Ip Man. I’ve missed this version of me.
positive · AI labelView post →Quite a while when I saw this movie. Stunning visuals, and Tony Leung Chiu-wai as Ip Man is great. 😊 There is a making of somewhere showing he's training for the role. At one point he broke his arm. Years ago I could visit Foshan and the Ip Man museum.
neutral · AI labelView post →My fave Ip Man movie is The Grandmaster.
neutral · AI labelView post →How have I never heard of this film???? This is so far Yen's recent directorial effort (Caine is coming soon) and its a mix of the action and legal thrillers....from the writer of the Ip Man films.....and somehow it never landed on my radar???? #NowWatching:
neutral · AI labelView post →Kill Zone is a blast. A meaner take on a John Woo style film, better than anything Wilson Yip was doing with Ip Man
neutral · AI labelView post →Post a film you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Wars/Trek, HP, LOTR, Marvel. NOTE: I added no graphic novel, sci-fi, horror or comedy for me. [I have 332 movies. I rewatch those types often] That reduced it to Ip Man 1 (this movie) or John Wick 1 & 2.
neutral · AI labelView post →Question for accumulated Bluesky #kungfu nous: Which version of Wong Kar-wai’s very excellent film “The Grandmaster” has the dream-sequence ending where Ip Man and Gong Er spar through a swinging door? I saw this on a China Eastern flight from Shanghai to Beijing once… #grandmaster #wongkarwai
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm assuming it's Ip Man (banger film too)
neutral · AI labelView post →Are you going through my blu-ray collection from the late oughts? What is next? The Shinjuku Incident? Flashpoint? Force of Five? Chocolate? Raging Phoenix? Kill Zone? The whole CineAsia collection (Tai Chi Master, the old Fist of Legend blu-ray and the IP Man film also from that company).
neutral · AI labelView post →My family members love Ip Man so much, but we never notice the ideology behind the film. For me, it like that we have been living under the expectation or nationalism, but never notice that. That's the problem.
negative · AI labelView post →I have watched all of the series of Ip Man. The character of Ip Man shows the typical Asian paternal authority of dads, who is taciturn, reserved and not expressive. But they love their family deep in their heart. The film combines father's love and national sentiment.
neutral · AI labelView post →When it came to animating Kris’s part, course I referenced from the Ip Man movie (the movie that truly made me get more and more into Wing Chun) and a little bit of Yim Wing Chun movie as well. The chain punch is a little off but it was good practice for Wing Chun animations.
